I wanna join too! I'm not afraid to admit I'm gay. :3 But I am afraid to admit it to my family and anyone at my school. :/

Well if she gets married then that's an event that's about her, it doesn't mean her sexuality becomes the focus of who she is, just that she's getting married like any other person would :)

Welcome VentusSkies! And may I say I'm honoured that you chose this thread for your first post :) Welcome to both the LGBT club and the PokeCommunity!

Ok maybe I would not be "offended" but I can imagine my reply to be somewhat sarcastic.

Steven August 8th, 2011 9:16 AM

I've had multiple people tell me they'd pray for me. One was a guy and..well, let's just say my fist did not do pleasant things to his face. ^-^;

The girls, I just laughed at them and spread rumors that they slept with a bunch of guys. I was a nice person in 9th grade. >_>

Welcome to all new members! :3

As far as the whole "I'll pray for you" response, it all depends on what they're praying for you for. If they're praying that you'll turn straight, I would be highly offended and walk away. If they're praying that you won't get harassed or assaulted for being gay, then I would be thankful.

That person is probably praying for the said homosexual to become heterosexual by some magic of "God."

シーツー August 8th, 2011 9:42 AM

Hello, I'd really like to join as well :3

I support homosexuals because they are just as good people as others are.

See, that's what I was talking about... whether you like their methods or not, they still just want to help you. I think it would be better just to explain to them how offensive it is, and try and convince them not to do it, rather than hurt them.

But that's just me.


(I'm a very very pacifistic guy though... I feel sick if I accidentally kill a bug. >.>)

They weren't trying to help me, they were trying to insult me. They didn't say it in a caring voice, they said it more in a "Ew, what the hell is wrong with you? You're going to hell!" tone.

Alice August 8th, 2011 11:01 AM

Ah, well I suppose that's a different thing altogether. lol

U.Flame August 8th, 2011 3:26 PM

I saw a hilarious scene in Tales of Phantasia, and it made me wonder: if a female was affected by a love potion and fell in love with another female, would that be lesbian or just controlling?

Nick August 8th, 2011 3:33 PM

Realistically speaking, sexuality is determined by sexual attraction. You can be sexually attracted to the same sex and be romantically involved with one of the opposite sex, but you'd still be a homosexual. Unless they develop some sort of sexual attraction for them, which can happen, then it wouldn't mean that they were a lesbian.

U.Flame August 8th, 2011 3:44 PM

Thing is, it's hard to tell if she's actually in love or if that's from the love potion. It's a funny scene, I think it's on Youtube.

Nick August 8th, 2011 3:46 PM

Its a movie. Why does it matter?

U.Flame August 8th, 2011 3:50 PM

It's a game actually. I was just wondering if love potion love counts.

Nick August 8th, 2011 3:52 PM

How creative of a thought for you to have!

U.Flame August 8th, 2011 3:58 PM

Found the video. The sidequest starts with Arche (pink hair) talking to a fortune teller who tells her she's in danger if she doesn't do nice things for people. So she gets her friend Suzu (brown hair) and do favors for people. This is one of the endings. If you do a few favors, one of them including the love potion favor. This is what happens: http://youtu.be/ua8dgiUpPrM

Domo Genesis August 8th, 2011 4:00 PM

I'm not gay. I just have a bisexual girlfriend. Call me a pervert, but I really like seeing girls kiss. >:3

Shining Raichu August 8th, 2011 4:15 PM

Welcome, シーツー!

re: the "I'll pray for you" discussion, I think if you're too nice about it then it allows them to think they've had the last word. While punching them out is probably the wrong way to go (satisfying as it might be), I'd choose the "destroying them with your words" route.

Alice August 8th, 2011 5:39 PM

Well, maybe if it were something more like what Landorus said happened to him... but not to my mom, haha.

Cloche August 8th, 2011 6:01 PM

Oooh... I'd like to join. Seeing as I'm a Pansexual.
*_*

Shining Raichu August 8th, 2011 6:02 PM

Welcome, METHOD_REPLEKIA/. !

This brings up an interesting question I can put to the community:

People say that parents and children love each other unconditionally. However if you came out as gay (or any other kind of minority sexuality) and your parents refused to accept you, thereby breaking their end of that deal, would you still be able to hold up yours?

Or to put it more simply, if your parents showed you that their love for you wasn't unconditional, would yours still be?

Hybrid Trainer August 8th, 2011 6:11 PM

Yay a topic i brought up got turned into a question xD

People say that parents and children love each other unconditionally. However if you came out as gay (or any other kind of minority sexuality) and your parents refused to accept you, thereby breaking their end of that deal, would you still be able to hold up yours?
I personally wouldn't because if their not prepared to have me like i am they don't deserve me at all.
But i do understand why someone who was maybe abused by their parents because of their sexuality would instantly forgive them if they were to ever accept them for who they are.
this was a lot harder to explain than when i was using the example o.o

Well I'll go into theory because my parents accept me.
They are required as parents to show me "Unconditional Love", But I just have to say, they may have to love me, but they don't have to like me.
